### Summary
`effectful` is an extensible effects library that aims to replace "boring"
transformer stacks (which consist of a dozen of newtype'd `ExceptT`, `ReaderT`,
`StateT` and `WriterT` transformers) and their derivatives by providing
equivalent effects with improved semantics, performance and usability (it also
makes it easy to reuse them for your own effects). It doesn't try to make monad
transformers obsolete, so you're free to use it with `ConduitT`, `ContT`,
`ListT` etc. when necessary.
`effectful` is an extensible effects library that aims to be the replacement
for:
- The bare `ReaderT` pattern by being essentially its enriched version.
- Monad transformer stacks typically encountered in the wild (i.e. consisting of
a dozen of newtype'd `ExceptT`, `ReaderT`, `StateT` and `WriterT` transformers
and their derivatives) by providing equivalent effects with improved
semantics, performance, usability and making it easy to reuse them for your
own effects.
